load_bot_config_template(bot) parses the <bot>.conf
template file, which can be found in the zulip_bots
package for each bot. It then returns the INI content
of that file as a dict.
Currently the zip file is extracted to the root of
zulip directory no matter where the the zip file.
The extracted data is not useful after running the command
which pollutes the zulip directory. It make more sense to
extract it to the same directory of zip file especially
when the zip file gets downloaded to /temp like in the tests.
The autoreload code of Django works by looping over the files associated
with all the loaded modules. This loop is run after every 1 second. If
the file is found for the first time by the loop, it is assumed that the
file is new and is not modified between the time it is loaded and is
checked by the loop. This assumption is the source of a race condition.
We can either implement a more sensitive version of the loop or we can
just allow enough time to the Django loop to touch every file at least
once.
For the time being, we are going with the second option.
Previously, there were following problems with the implmentation:
* Same file handle was being used to read and write. We used to do
`seek(0)` and then `read()`. This had a chance to overwrite
file data. Now we use different file handles to read and write data.
* We were using text streams. Text streams cannot be used with
`bufferring=0`. Now we use binary streams without buffering so that
data is available for reading without any delay.
This commit also updates the key(s) that we search in the logfile.
Previously, launch of all queues was announced in the log, now we only
anounce the number of threads that were launched.
This commit also makes sure that we always exit after gracefull shutting
down the development server.
Before this change, we were pulling iago's credentials from
the wrong database, which usually was a non-issue (dev and test
are populated the same way), but which would break things if
you modified iago's credentials in dev.
Now the credentials properly come from the test database.
